Orbital have announced that they will be headlining this summer’s Secret Garden Party and Beatherder festivals.
The dance duo will release their new album ‘Wonky’, which is their first since 2004’s ‘Blue Album’ and their first release since they returned from an indefinite hiatus, on April 1.
The band have also confirmed that they will be playing a slot at this year’s Bestival, headlining the event’s Big Top Stage. They will also play London’s Bloc weekender, which takes place in the UK capital’s Pleasure Gardens on July 6 and 7.
Bestival will take place from September 6–9 at Robin Hill Park on the Isle Of Wight. Organiser Rob da Bank has said that the festival will be announcing one act per day until mid-February.
